Take the cringe factor out of role play training. Engage your learners in dry, complex topics. Deliver high levels of attitudinal change. Take adaptive learning to the next level and discover the power of adaptive interactive video.
Take adaptive learning – using technology and data analytics to create personalised learning experiences. Put it together with interactive video – adding clickable elements to let viewers engage with the learning experience directly in real-time. And you’ve got adaptive video.
Adaptive learning uses technology and data analytics to create personalised learning experiences. The adapted learning journey is more relevant and so the learner is more engaged. If they are more engaged, they remember more information.
Through regular assessments, the learning platform will tweak the difficulty level, content and order in response to the learner’s existing knowledge and competence.
This means the learner gets an individual journey that adapts to their knowledge gaps and preferred learning styles. They can take courses at a pace that suits them and get instant help and resource recommendations if needed. And all this can be done at scale. So where’s the downside?
Adaptive learning has clear advantages for subjects like statistics that offer yes or no answers to problems. But what if you’re conducting training in soft skills or ethics where the answers are not quite as clear-cut?
Adaptive video for learning addresses this challenge by finding that sweet spot between the teacher’s guidance and the learner’s agency. Interactive, adaptive video is an active learning experience. Educators can design engaging modules that invite intrigue and curiosity, letting learners discover the answers for themselves. Learners retain a sense of agency with assessments to determine and address knowledge gaps.
Adaptive media has the power to transform your learning and development strategy – and we don’t use the T-word lightly.
The best training techniques will put the learner into situations and simulations that are as close as possible to real scenarios. Until recently, this meant awkward physical role-play sessions in training groups. Now, adaptive media can digitally replicate real scenarios allowing viewers to learn through trial and error in a safe environment. This creates learners who are more confident and proficient when using these skills in the real world.
It’s hard to replicate the emotional stakes when designing training scenarios. Take learning first aid, for example. It’s one thing learning CPR in the sterile classroom environment with a manikin, it’s quite another in real life. Adaptive media can use storytelling techniques to recreate the emotive elements of real scenarios, creating higher regard for the outcome and consequences. In turn, learners are ready for the real world with better information recall.
Adaptive media is not limited to video. Immersive formats such as virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) are proving to be highly successful training tools, especially for niche or highly specialised skills. A PwC study found that learners trained with VR were up to 275% more confident to utilise their newly learned skills – 40% higher than classroom learners. The closer learners get to real scenarios, the better the information recall.
Adaptive video can deliver ‘spectacular’ results (Learning Designer Paul Brennan’s words, not ours!) By using storytelling techniques to create emotional investment and balancing teaching intent with personalised journeys, adaptive video can transform your L&D strategy.
